I’m gratified deeply. In fact, my existing readers and youth of incoming generations remain my source of whatever energies I have, for survival and for any creative act. I revere and adore you all. Thanks.

Dear writer,
May I know which of your book has got sahitya akademi award,2010?
Only your name has come out in the regional news papers and English news papers.The title of your book is not given. I think the news papers of today have no space for the Indian literature.It can spare lot of space for films and sports . But for language & literature they are going to be greedy day by day.
I think you will response urgently.
Congratulation.
